"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are never transmitted to remote services and no component requires network access to function. The suite includes no advertising, no telemetry, no subscription and no account requirement, unlike some well-known proprietary office suites."

What's strange is not just how people have been conditioned and funnelled into using MS Word, but the reliance on word processors in the first place.
For me they fall between two stools:
simple document -> text editor
complex document -> LaTeX
I only ever use Libre Office […looks up name from start menu dropdown…] Writer if someone sends me a Word document.
For spreadsheets it's almost always gnumeric. For drawings I have Inkscape and Dia. Bitmaps it's GIMP.
Don't need MS at all
